A rose by any other name is still a rose. (What’s in a name?) The following verses appear in rapid succession in the gospel of Matthew. The events are just moments apart. The scene is a familiar one. Notice carefully how the two groups (Roman soldiers and religious Jewish leaders) refer to...

Marks wrote: "Look at how they viewed, or were required to view their caesars, as gods" The Caesars were given the title god, but they were very distant and impersonal. But you bring out a good point. you wrote: "Have you examined all the places either of these words are used, and compared...

One of the most famous events in ancient history was the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in 44 BC. Some 200 years later, a Roman historian named Dion Cassius, described the funeral that followed. Of particular interest was this sentence he penned: “You loved him as...

Yes, the Second Coming is after the Tribulation

you say the apostasia cant be the rapture, and i am saying that the apostasia is the rapture. And, the day of the Lord (i.e. the Tribulation) cant come until the rapture happens first. If you like the last word, you can reply to this, but I will move on.

Which was the first year that KJV was corrected to the place where it was inspired. We know the 1611 had many mistakes. When were all the mistakes removed? What year version?

The word Rapture is an English word. Raptura is a Latin word. And HARPAZO is a Greek word. All three can be used in the same context. My point is that the Greek word HARPAZO is the same for Rapture in English.

What I am saying is that the Rapture comes before that day of the lord. And that the APOSTASIA/REBELLION/FALLING AWAY is incorrectly translated. The APOSTASIA is the Rapture, not some falling away from the faith. If you check just about any Greek lexicon you will see that one of the usages of...

What my little article shows is that Jesus could not have sinned. We know he didn't sin, but this short article shows why it would be ludicrous to claim Christ could have sinned. Note that if he had sinned, there is no possible consequence to such a position. The only outcome of Jesus sinning is...

So, in which version does the inspired text exist?

I like this reply. And the question demonstrates one of the main reasons people arrive at different interpretations of the Bible. Prior to interpreting a text, we commit to a Method of Interpretation. In this case, it is either an allegory or a "literal" method. If one accepts that the Bible has...

It’s now time to tighten your seat belts. Notice what Paul says in Romans 8: “those whom He justified, these (same ones) He also glorified.” “Glorified” is in the PAST TENSE. That is, according to Paul, if you are justified (saved) you are also glorified. In other words, by virtue of our...

More than two thousand years ago, a blacksmith was forging and shaping some iron with his anvil and hammer. It was a father and son business, not that that mattered. One afternoon, while whacking away on some hot iron that was being fashioned into a sword, the son placed the heated end of...

thank you Marks, you are exactly right!

I am talking about errors in your inspired KJV. I asked which KJV does the KJO say is God's word (the 1611 can not be God's word due to the mistakes I outlined), because God does not make mistakes. How about the 1612 version? Is this the inspired one? I have no problem with the KJV; I have a...

You said: Did you even read what I said? My point was that it can't be referring to the rapture because Paul said the apostasia has to occur first before the rapture. Can you show me where this is stated in Scripture? I will change my position as a pre-tribber if you can show me this. I...

I have never had a KJO person respond to this. I wish one would. I am open to correction. If I am wrong, let me know. This is taken from a paper I wrote to the KJO students in college back in 1982. Yeah, I am old confused

I have noticed a few people out here making a mistake in reading/understanding a Greek Lexicon. All Greek Lexica are written in the same manner. Let me briefly explain what the "definitions" mean. Using APOSTASIA as an example, here is what it means... APOSTASIA has several definitions/usages...

To be honest, I don't relate to Jesus Christ as my King, but as my Husband.
